Lyrics

[00:16.68] Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
[00:25.56] You been out ridin' fences for so long now
[00:33.37] Oh, you're a hard one
[00:36.93] I know that you got your reasons
[00:42.16] These things that are pleasin' you
[00:46.80] Can hurt you somehow
[00:52.70] Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
[00:56.85] She'll beat you if she's able
[01:00.96] You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
[01:08.60] Now it seems to me, some fine things
[01:12.51] Have been laid upon your table
[01:16.59] But you only want the things that you can't get
[01:24.19] Desperado,you know you ain't gettin' no younger
[01:32.81] Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
[01:41.28] And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
[01:49.08] Your prison is walking through this world all alone
[01:59.33] Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
[02:03.46] The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
[02:07.52] It's hard to tell the night time from the day
[02:15.21] You're loosin' all your highs and lows
[02:19.15] Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
[02:29.36] Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
[02:38.67] Come down from your fences, open the gate
[02:46.88] It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
[02:54.90] You better let somebody love you, let somebody love you
[03:03.69] Let somebody love you
[03:10.17] Before it's too late
